This 50 dollar "bargain" is a huge ripoff and slap in the face

    Which is why one of the things we are trying is different ways to sell reskins, rather than only relying on new content.

    The Map Rotation implemented was botched and not intended and included many old versions of maps, it's been fixed.

    Yea, it's one of those situations where fixing one thing (accessibility) causes another problem. Players complained about accessibility for many years, and DOG introduced the forge, which was initially loved, but its effects on trading on rune value is certainly a valid criticism of having such a system.

    is there an update which maps are in rotation now?

    I refuse to play until the 2010 version of plains of valdac is removed. Player 2 might as well instant surrender

    It's more or less the same set of maps, just different versions in some cases. The person who implemented the maps didn't realize there were different versions.

    Here's the list from my tracking dock:

    Yea, that one should be gone.

    One thing about the old maps resurfacing tho is that I think it illustrates how much better the new maps are :D

    But yea, I mean, Ruins of Valdac, old Nora Glades... those were the maps when I was not a green yet, and I am thinking "We played on these?! wtf?!"

    i think the forge is defo great

    and I'd spend 50 bucks no questions asked on a megabox, not on 2 singles though. Don't really care for a reskin of a rune that I don't play much for 14 bucks

    still waiting for more specific boxes, or an option to spend like 100 owl credits to craft a rune from the current expansion, something like that, dunno

    There is actually a pack revamp coming with the PS4 launch which I think most people will like. There's also a feature I want to do that won't make it into the initial launch but it's something I am pushing for (which will "ensure" 10% Exotic rate, essentially). More details to come when it's closer.

    Understand and appreciate. But the approach taken this time doesn't seem very effective to me from scratch. There is a bit of an inherent problem (to me) with attaching faction specific re-skins to a bundle, especially since it's monetary value will most likely not translate into in-game value.

    The implementation of the forge was a fantastic thing, and I personally don't think the problem lies much with the forge as it does with external trading sites (since the community is small to begin with). I don't know if you guys can do anything about them specifically but as long as they're around and remain the better option there won't be much else to it. The forge provides set value which should be enough to get a healthy trading environment going.

    Should be a 3 font version. It should be live. I'll have someone look into it.

    Congrats sok. You took something that I was sure would end up in disaster and turned it completely around.
    Only thing you haven't addressed pretty much perfectly is the faulty megabox advertising image. Personally I don't care or harp much on you for it, but others might...

    EDIT: Also, I've liked every one of your comments on this thread. Hope you had fun with the alert flooded inbox and slightly increased rep :p.

    This "deal" was a ripoff pure and simple, the so called reskin is nothing but a scam, a reskin is supposed look unique, this does not.

    I personally dont care about market values but that said, no matter how you sugarcoat it. This is an excellent way to lose customers and if you want to be looked at as a serious company you should offer refunds.

    You come off as shady by doing stunts like this, what happens when people stops trusting your marketplace?

    2 of its abilities have been reskinned. I do agree they could have at least turned his robe Blue or something.
